Chapter 317 The Word-of-Mouth Explosion of Conquering the Demons

The whole movie theater was enveloped in a warm clapping applause. Obviously, the applause was full of fanaticism and also carried something truly heartfelt.

In fact, from Chen Xi's own point of view, the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is probably a bystander, and he is more involved in technology. Let him watch a cold movie.

Not because of the dark wind of the movie, nor because of the ugliest Monkey King in history, but because of the brokenness and panic that all fantasies are coldly torn into chicken feathers.

This is a world where monsters are rampant, so these monsters have their own merits and are basically disgusting and evil. After all, in a world where monsters are rampant, it is impossible for you to expect to have a world of monsters as beautiful as in cartoons.

A subversion of Monkey King's image actually seems to be a kind of smashing of the "Monkey King" image that people have established for Monkey King.

Master Xing broke too many things here.

When the picture freezes and becomes four people embarking on the road of learning scriptures, everyone's face is numb, and there is a paradox that is almost crazy.

Of course, some people will think that this is to create a comic effect, but... If you understand it from another angle, isn't this a kind of numbness?Just think about the numbness on your face after a busy day, sitting on the bus and looking at people outside, or looking down at your mobile phone, isn’t that the case?
Tang Seng has always wanted to influence people and monsters by reasoning about those things...

however……

The fish demon was violently beaten by Miss Duan, the pig demon was forcibly beaten soft by the monkey, and the Monkey King was slapped and kneeled by the Tathagata.

Everything is violence.

So Tang Seng later said that he wanted to become a Buddha, not because of love in the world, but because of Mahayana Buddhism in Tianzhu, so he went to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures...

So this movie, from this point of view, will make people feel cold when watching it.Tathagata's slap kneeled Sun Wukong and shattered Tang Seng's imagination, making this group of people live a life confined by reality like any walking dead imprisoned by society.

Chen Xi would even inexplicably think of "Fight Club"...

Of course, Chen Xi didn't ask Master Xing about this aspect, and he didn't know what he thought. However, the director may not have any deep meaning in movies, but it's just everyone's own imagination. A few touches, that's enough.

Judging from the performance of the audience at the scene, it is obvious that they also like this movie very much, which is about the same for Chen Xi.

Chen Xi was still worried at the beginning that this movie would make people feel a little too dark when used in the Chinese New Year, which would affect the mood of the Chinese New Year, but it’s okay to watch now, and many dark things are hidden under the hilarious content. hidden.

This movie throws away some of its spiritual core, and also throws away some dark wind things, and at least it can leave a shell of a real entertainment film.

Everyone will still find laughter in this movie.

The applause in the movie theater is crackling.

Chen Xi also came to everyone with the main creators. The main creators also included Wen Zhang, Shu Qi, Tang Yixin and others. Anyway, they are still there now.

Seeing Chen Xi and the others, the applause became even stronger...

It's a pity that Master Xing seldom appears recently, and Chen Xi basically appears on his behalf.

After the movie ended, fans and reporters surrounded Chen Xi, wanting to hear all his opinions about the movie. Of course, the fans also wanted to get Chen Xi's autograph and group photo. It was hard work Only then did I catch Chen Xi, and these things were all in the meaning of the question.

The questions from the reporters obviously came faster and were simple and crude.

"Director Chen, why didn't Master Xing come to this screening?" The reporters asked the first sentence. In fact, Master Xing almost never participated in the screening of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". It's more inclined to take a break after the filming and production of this film is completed.

Chen Xi said: "Everyone knows that Master Xing is not the young man we imagined him to be. He needs to rest now. "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" is a very energy-consuming film for him. Master Xing now It does take a certain amount of time to rest and adjust! So I will handle some specific details of the movie's release."

Everyone believed in this kind of explanation, just because they were a little bit regretful that they didn't see Master Xing.

In fact, although Master Xing is still making movies, everyone can feel his thoughts from the front of the stage to behind the scenes. After "Yangtze River No. [-]", he stopped acting in movies. Even if he is directing movies, he often Some places that the flash can't reach.

So everyone is actually quite used to such a star master.

The reporter quickly asked a question: "Director Chen, is the main creator of this movie you or Master Xing?"

Chen Xi said: "I have said it in many public occasions before, although I also hold the position of director of this film, the magnificent imaginary images of the film, and even every detail of the film are basically the same. From the hand of Master Xing, I just played a watching role in it, of course, I supervised the 3D and special effects of the movie, that’s all I have for this movie.”

In fact, even though Chen Xi said so, he doesn't know the reason. Anyway, many people always think that this is a collaboration between him and Master Xing. Maybe it's because many things in it are a bit of the funny style of Chen Xi's two Journeys. , it may also be because everyone just wanted to match Chen Xi and Master Xing together in their hearts, and thought that the movie made by these two people would definitely be great, so such a thing happened.

The next question from the reporters began to shift to the commercial nature of the movie: "Director Chen, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" will be released on the second day of the Lunar New Year. This is something that many movies dare not do. Is this festival also becoming a time for movies to get a good box office?"

Chen Xi smiled and said: "I don't think I need to say much about this matter. After all, you only need to think about it for a while and you will understand that in the very beginning, we didn't have New Year's Eve stalls, we didn't have summer vacation stalls, and we didn't have May [-]st stalls a few years ago. , National Day,...these are all slowly carved out by a movie, and I believe "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" will also become such a movie, making the Spring Festival file a synonym for high box office."

It can be heard that Chen Xi's confidence is still very sufficient.

""Lost in Thailand" became the first domestic film to exceed one billion box office, so what do you expect from "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"? Do you think the box office of this movie can reach one billion ?"

This kind of question carries many people's expectations of Chen Xi. After all, Chen Xi has done many things before and has already made his reputation famous: he looks like a talker in many people's minds but always A person who can use facts to prove that what he said is true.

Even if what he said is outrageous, at least now there will be a lot of people willing to believe it.

Chen Xi said: "I still expect the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" to exceed one billion!"

Many reporters have recorded such a key information point in their hearts, and recorded some of Chen Xi's current ambitions.

However, with Chen Xi and Master Xing's super configuration, it is not impossible to win a billion.

...After this premiere, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is about to enter the final sprint stage. This year, Chen Xi also has no way to go home because of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", but he has received his parents before Here in the capital, although it is a bit strange to say that it is a bit strange not to be at home during the New Year, but no matter what, it is always possible to have a family reunion here.

"Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" has been released in advance and has been screened in various ways so far, and the results are quite good, especially in the eyes of ordinary audiences, this film is great.

There is another place that is a surprise, and that is the 3D effect of the movie.

It has been a year since "Avatar" was officially released. When many people saw "Avatar" for the first time, they were basically shocked. They never thought that the movie could reach such a level. Everyone thinks that the 3D movie technology of "Avatar" is really great.

As a result, the 3D movie theaters became more and more noisy, and many movie theaters converted their original 2D movie theaters into 3D movie theaters. Not only that, but for many audiences, since they knew about 3D, they felt a kind of non-3D If you don’t watch the movie, you feel like if you go to the cinema and don’t watch 3D movies, the ticket price is basically useless!

This kind of thinking makes all kinds of news about 3D movies appear continuously, and many movies have started to be converted into 3D in post-production. After all, the benefits of this matter are there!

First of all, many viewers now like to watch 3D movies. If the words 3D are marked on the movie, many movie fans will go to the movie theater, not to mention the specific content, but at least they can watch it. The feeling of 3D will satisfy your hunger.

Secondly, and most importantly, 3D movie tickets are generally higher than 2D movie tickets, so playing 3D movies can also get a higher box office...

As a result, many films have begun to launch in the later stages.

At the beginning, the audience was very excited by the continuous appearance of so many 3D movies, so they all went to the cinema one after another, but as they watched more and more 3D movies, they also began to become confused: Why are these movies Don't you feel like "Avatar" anymore?

Although these 3D movies do have a little bit of effect, compared with "Avatar", these 3D movies are simply the difference from heaven to heaven and earth. Almost all of these movies only have subtitles in 3D, and everything else is 2D, it's really embarrassing.

And not only that, as long as the 3D movies are not watched in the IMAX version, the light loss is quite serious, which makes the movies they see always have a somewhat gray color, anyway, it feels far less bright and vivid than 2D movies, so, There are quite a few movie fans who have doubts about 3D movies...

At this time, the appearance of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" made them feel that these are two new movies, and they have done quite well in many screen effects, so many people have a strong affection for this movie: look at the other The deceptive so-called 3D movies and this "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" will know that there is still a gap between people after all. The difference between the works of Chen Xi and Master Xing and other movies is quite obvious.

Therefore, after watching "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", many movie fans who participated in the screening began to express their thoughts in many places:
"It's really a pretty good 3D movie. Anyway, I think that among all the so-called 3D movies I watched after "Avatar", only this one "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" really gave me a strong feeling. The sense of impact, the feeling of 3D movies, I have only seen it in "Avatar" and "Journey to the West"!"

"3D movies should be like this. The 3D in "Journey to the West" is the real 3D. Although there is still a gap compared with "Avatar", the 3D effect in this movie is quite good. Shocking! Speaking of this, I also feel that the 3D effects in many so-called Hollywood blockbusters with huge investment are nothing more than that, which makes people think they are all deceiving, but not in "Journey to the West" , although this is a domestic film, the 3D effect contained in it is really amazing!"

Of course, these people are talking purely technically, and many people evaluate the movie purely from the perspective of the movie itself.

"It's really a movie that people can't forget after watching for a long time. The combination of Chen Xi and Xing Ye let us see a wonderful "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". The movie has a strange sense of fate. From the beginning to the end, although the love of the movie is not as popular as "A Chinese Journey to the West", the advancement of the movie's plot is full of nonsensical jokes like Star Master. Point, combined with the compact plot, it will let people see how powerful the power from Chen Xi and Master Xing is! This is an irresistible movie! I recommend everyone to watch it in the cinema."

"When Xingye's nonsense and dark tastes are combined with Chen Xi's compact movie plot, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" becomes a good movie that can abandon everything else and follow the movie's plot. Regardless of whether you understand the film from a commercial or an artistic point of view, you cannot deny that it is a truly wonderful film, and this collaboration between Chen Xi and Master Xing not only did not disappoint, but also surprised people!"
